You and I Misbehaving Lyrics
Oh Darci, Darci (Don't look so sad)
Don't let the daytime (Get you down)
Because we will be wild like children (Wild like children)
Once the black has veiled this sky
No pushing buttons (No telling lies)
No pointed fingers (Trying to keep you quiet)
Just you and I misbehaving (Misbehaving)
Oh trying our best to feel alive
We won't ever let them win
When we are younger, oh, our hearts are so much bolder
Oh the pressure's not as great
We floated weightless through the tops of trees
As we get older, oh, our vision becomes blurred
And then the fog it slips right in
Now you're wondering how
Oh yeah, you're wondering how you ended up here
Oh how you end up here
Those hateful, hateful (Tough little boys)
That move their lips (Whenever you're around)
So smart, just shouting answers (Shouting answers)
I guess their fathers taught them well
So sit real still (They've got to size you up)
Don't move your mouth (They don't like when you talk)
They're trying their best to define you (To define you)
They're trying their best to keep you down
But we won't ever let them win
Because this world you know it can get so crazy
All these people talk a lot
They know this, they know it all
What a drag
And you know there'll always be some oddball singing
Just remember to sing along
Yeah you better start singing along
This place could be so beautiful
You just can't let them pull that cloth over your eyes
Just keep on screaming, oh yeah
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Bop bop ba, bop bop ba
Don't let the daytime (Get you down)
Because we will be wild like children (Wild like children)
Once the black has veiled this sky
No pushing buttons (No telling lies)
No pointed fingers (Trying to keep you quiet)
Just you and I misbehaving (Misbehaving)
Oh trying our best to feel alive
We won't ever let them win
Oh the pressure's not as great
We floated weightless through the tops of trees
As we get older, oh, our vision becomes blurred
And then the fog it slips right in
Now you're wondering how
Oh yeah, you're wondering how you ended up here
Oh how you end up here
That move their lips (Whenever you're around)

Don't move your mouth (They don't like when you talk)

i can't believe no one's commented...this is seriously their best song...
The bass in this song really shines thru the song... I like the female voice...This song also seems to be about growing old... losing that 'innocence of youth' as written
"When we are younger oh our hearts are so much bolder Oh the pressure is not as great We floated weightless through the tops of trees "
especially with 'how did we end up here?"
Suddenly we're 30 or 40 and where did the years go?
I just saw them tonight...and...wow.
This song was awesome.
It's full of hope, which is something everyone needs....
i saw them with bright eyes and they are my favorite band now! this is the best song on the CD...yea it was awsome live
this song is crazy, like how people are hooking up to feel more alive, but it seems like it leaves them empty.
i love this song, it's really encouraging and just... awesome.
"And you know there'll always be some oddball singing Just remember to sing along "
i agree with donna the dinasaur, it really is encouraging. to me, the song says even though you live in this chaotic hell hole just...follow your heart, don't take yourself too seriously, and ALWAYS have play time. there comes a time where you really just have to accept how messed up this world is and let it go...
Saw them with Bright Eyes a couple months ago, and the live performance just blew me away. Slightly less spectacular in studio, but that's okay because I like their songwriting, too.
Gotta love how it's written for the one guy's younger sister.
one of my favorite songs ever. just plain beautiful.
Awesome song. Great lyrics. "Darci, Darci.." Derek is speaking to his little sister, Darci.
